I want the blood moon counter to count cards for its rng. That way, the more often you get a normal moon, the better of a chance for a blood moon, and vis a vis.

I just imagined, what if they made it rain? Like, actual rain and water levels? Huge waterfalls going underground, flooding....it would probably murder the processor, but it seems easily possible to mock up and see what happens.
Like in Clonk? :D

Despite all the talk about it, I have not yet checked out Clonk.

I tried Clonk but could never really get into it. This looks a lot less clunky to play with.

Huh. Reading around Twitter (I feel so dirty), apparently some of the sprites in game are going to change. I'm not a 100% clear on this, but it seems like maybe? some of their sprites were ripped for the purposes of having something to work with.

Well yeah, it's pretty clear that the people are ripped from an FF of some description :P.

I mean, they might have actually been ripped, rather than ripped off of.

I was under the impression that they'd made some of the sprites and ripped the rest and were in the process of hiring a professional sprite maker to do a new set for them.

Mine too.  I think I'm going to stop watching those LP videos so that I have more fun being surprised by how things work when it actually comes out.

Haha it sounds like they've already hired their spriter (and they had at the time of nenjin's original post I think).

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

Part 11 up. They're now exploring a different cave system to the, uh, west? I suppose west is where the sun sets, so if it sets to the right, west is to the right.
